Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f
Chapter 230 Frank and Adorable
The boy turned around in a panic and saw a young girl staring at him with suppressed anger.
The boy, suffering from a headache, bowed to Ye Wushuang and Xu Qing in apology: "I'm sorry, Auntie, this young lady is my cousin. She is young and doesn't know any better. I hope you two can forgive her."
After explaining, he hurriedly ran towards the girl.
Ye Wushuang angrily picked up the milk tea on the table and was about to drink it.
Xu Qing pressed his hand down and chuckled softly.
He whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Don't drink it, just in case!"
Ye Wushuang put down her milk tea cup and sulked to herself.
"Ladies, it is a great honor for me to have you all attend my tea party. Now that everyone has arrived, let the tea party begin!"
The magistrate's wife, for some unknown reason, returned to the garden and spoke from a slightly elevated spot.
"Clap clap clap."
The magistrate's wife clapped her hands, and several servants and maids filed in.
The servant carried a small table, and the maids each held a teacup, tea leaves, and other items.
After the arrangements were made, the magistrate's wife began to brew tea.
The magistrate's wife looked to be in her thirties, with smooth, fair skin and a beautiful, captivating face.
Xu Qing secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. The county magistrate of Dukou Town was a lucky man, with such a beautiful wife.
"What do you all think of the tea I brewed?"
A moment later, a group of maids came from the front carrying teacups and placed them one by one on the guests' small tables.
The magistrate's wife smiled as she looked at everyone, as if waiting for their evaluation after they had drunk the wine.
The woman closest to the magistrate's wife was the first to pick up her teacup and take a light sniff:
"The fragrance is pure and long-lasting, as if you are in an orchid garden in spring, rich and fragrant, which makes you feel refreshed and happy."
He then took a small sip of the tea, closed his eyes, and savored the taste.
"The taste is fresh, sweet, and mellow. The tea soup dances on the tongue, with a slight bitterness at first, which disappears in an instant. Then, a sweet taste spreads in the mouth, with a long-lasting aftertaste and endless flavor."
After speaking, the woman opened her eyes, her eyes filled with flattery and obsequiousness towards the magistrate's wife:
"Madam, your tea ceremony is truly superb! I have never tasted such fine tea before. It is my great honor to drink a cup of your tea today!"
With one person taking the lead, the rest of the group took turns pretending to taste the food, then tried to praise the magistrate's wife with all sorts of compliments.
And none of them are the same.
Soon it was Xu Qing's turn to sit at the table.
Xu Qing had already secretly switched the tea in her and Ye Wushuang's cups.
She picked up her teacup, raised it slightly towards the magistrate's wife, and said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Madam. I am a crude woman and do not know how to appreciate beauty. If I were to force myself to come up with some words of praise, I would probably make a fool of myself."
Laughter erupted from the crowd.
"What? You don't even know how to appreciate tea? How dare you come to a tea party?"
"I just saw the magistrate's wife personally welcoming her in; I thought she was some master tea maker."
"If you don't know how to appreciate tea, then get out of here."
After Xu Qing had been ridiculed by all the women present, the magistrate's wife finally spoke slowly.
"It's alright. Madam Xu is frank and lovely. Such qualities are rare and I like her very much."
Now that the tea ceremony is over, please move aside and follow me to the backyard for the game of pitch-pot and horseback riding.
My husband has recently acquired a fine steed, pure white with a pinkish tinge, it's very beautiful.
After speaking, the magistrate's wife got up and walked towards the backyard.
A group of women and young ladies happily followed behind the magistrate's wife, eager to see what was going on.
Although they flattered the magistrate's wife, everyone likes beautiful things.
Xu Qing and Ye Wushuang walked in the middle of the crowd.
Ye Wushuang asked curiously, "What exactly is this magistrate's wife up to?"
As things stand, she doesn't seem to harbor any hostility towards us, nor has she tried to frame us.
Perhaps we're overthinking it?
Xu Qing shook his head and said in a low voice, "We shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but we can't be without the heart to guard against others. It's always right for us to be cautious."
Ye Wushuang nodded, and the two continued to walk forward with the main group.
After turning past a rockery, the woman and the magistrate's wife suddenly disappeared.
Xu Qing looked behind her again, but there was no one there either.
Ye Wushuang turned past the artificial hill in disbelief, and there really wasn't a single person in the entire garden path.
"My goodness, this is amazing! How did they all suddenly disappear?"
"Aunt Xu, it seems they are..."
Ye Wushuang's unfinished words stuck in his throat. He rubbed his eyes, and the spot where Xu Qing had just been standing was now empty.
"Auntie! Aunt Xu!"
Ye Wushuang shouted anxiously, his voice echoing everywhere, but no one answered him.
Only then did Ye Wushuang realize that she had fallen into someone's trap.
He cursed himself inwardly, knowing full well that the magistrate's wife was a bad person, how could he have been so careless!
Now look what's happened! He swore he would protect Aunt Xu, but she's disappeared right under his nose.
Ye Wushuang gritted her teeth and continued searching.
At this moment, Xu Qing was sitting on the bed in an unfamiliar room, arms crossed, looking at the man in front of her.
"You went through all that trouble to kidnap me here, just to stare at me like this?"
Wang Da Ba stared at Xu Qing, who should have been asleep but was now unusually awake, not knowing what to do.
Xu Qing chuckled and then said, "What? Scared stiff? Are you surprised that I wasn't asleep?"
Wang Da Ba nodded slightly.
"The milk tea at the tea party contains a drug that, when mixed with the incense burning near the artificial hill, will turn into a sleeping potion."
Even a cow would be knocked out, and it would be unconscious for at least four or five hours. You were clearly unconscious just now, so why did you suddenly wake up?
He was just about to teach this arrogant woman a lesson.
No sooner had his hand touched the clothes than the man opened his eyes. He was so startled he almost fell to the ground.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Then tell me how the others suddenly disappeared, and I'll tell you why I was able to faint and then suddenly wake up."
Xu Qing spoke naturally and calmly, without the slightest hint of panic on her face, as if she were simply chatting with a friend.
Wang Da Ba hesitated for a moment, but still said, "That's a mechanism. The magistrate's wife is proficient in this. As long as a specific object is touched, the mechanism can be activated, allowing people to be instantly transported to another place."
Xu Qing was secretly shocked; this magistrate's wife was no ordinary person.
These medical skills should only be known to people in the martial arts world. How could she, a pampered official's wife, know these things!
"As for you, you must have taken some kind of antidote beforehand," Wang Daba guessed.
Xu Qing said calmly, "I changed the milk tea in my cup beforehand. I was just faking fainting."
I sensed movement inside the artificial hill and guessed you were going to make your move there, so I pretended to faint to see what you were up to.
